Tech makes no pretense of running a well-rounded athletic program; the same night the Huskies were beating Minnesota, Tech's basketball team allowed Isidore Schmiesing of St. Cloud State College to score 56 points-thereby absorbing its 16th loss of the season. Hockey is the game in Houghton, and the town's devotion is maniacal. When season tickets for the 1,065 seats in Dee Stadium went on sale last November, they sold out in 2½ hours...

Escrivá wanted to create, much as Ignatius Loyola had done with his Society of Jesus in the 16th century, spiritual shock troops to rekindle the true spirit of Christianity within the church. But instead of retiring into monasteries, he felt, men with a secular calling as well as a sacred one should be able to follow both at once. The solution: in addition to vows of poverty, chastity...
